Abstract

NdBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} (NdBCO) films were grown on rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) via pulsed laser deposition. c-Axis-oriented epitaxial NdBCO films with high performance were obtained under optimal deposition conditions. Transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that the NdBCO film grown on RABiTS has a clear interface with a CeO{sub 2} cap layer and a nearly perfect lattice structure. The NdBCO film exhibits higher {Tc} of 93.7 K and better in-field J c in magnetic fields and at all field orientations, compared to pure YBCO films.

The Incorporation of Nanoscale Columnar Defects Comprised of Self-Assembled BaZrO ₃ Nanodots to Improve Flux-Pinning and Critical Current Density of NdBa ₂Cu ₃O _7-δ Films Grown on RABiTS

Journal Article Wee, Sung Hun ; Goyal, Amit ; Li, Jing ; ... - Superconductor Science & Technology

We report significant enhancement in the flux-pinning of epitaxial NdBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} (NdBCO) films on rolling-assisted biaxially textured substrates (RABiTS) via the incorporation of a two-dimensional array of columnar defects comprised of self-assembled BaZrO3 (BZO) nanodots. Pure NdBCO films and NdBCO films incorporating BZO nanodots, both with the same thickness of 0.6 {micro}m, were epitaxially grown on RABiTS by pulsed laser deposition. A very dense and homogeneous distribution of BZO nanodot columns with typical intercolumn spacing of around 15-20 nm oriented along the c-axis of the film was observed in the NdBCO+BZO film. Compared to the pure NBCO filmmore »« less

Conference Holzapfel, B. ; Leghissa, M. ; Bauer, P. ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity; (United States)

Epitaxial YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] thin films (YBCO) and YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]]/PrBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] multilayers (Y/Pr) were irradiated with high-energy heavy ions (770) Mev [sup 108]Pb under various directions [phi] relative to the c-axis. The irradiation resulted in columnar defects tilted by [phi] from the c-axis. The angular dependence of their pinning activity was studied by measuring the anisotropy of the critical current density. The J[sub c](B, T, [theta]) behavior of the irradiated YBCO thin films showed an additional peak, which exceeds the intrinsic pinning peak, exactly at the irradiation direction. The Y/Pr multilayers, however, showed an isotropicmore »« less
Pulsed laser deposition of thick YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] films with [ital J][sub [ital c]][ge]1 MA/cm[sup 2]

Journal Article Foltyn, S.R. ; Tiwari, P. ; Dye, R.C. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters; (United States)

Using pulsed laser deposition, YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] (YBCO) films ranging in thickness from 0.065 to 6.4 [mu]m have been deposited on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates with an intermediate layer of CeO[sub 2]. The thinnest films have critical current densities of over 5 MA/cm[sup 2] at 75 K with zero applied field; as film thickness is increased, [ital J][sub [ital c]] decreases asymptotically to 1 MA/cm[sup 2]. X-ray analysis of a 2.2-[mu]m-thick film shows that the YBCO is predominantly [ital c]-axis oriented and textured in-plane, while a Rutherford backscattering spectrometry minimum channeling yield of [approx]75% indicates that the film contains disorderedmore » material at this thickness.« less
